RAIL - ROLLING STOCK: SIP-BASED VoIP COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS
ONBOARD ROLLING STOCK COMMUNICATION With our VoIP communication solutions, Vingtor-Stentofon aims to be the integrator’s choice in fulfilling client system requirements. We provide commercial off-the-shelf VoIP end-devices for PA, Intercom and Train Radio Integration. The on-board audio communication server is also part of our offering.
Utilizing such open standards ultimately means more freedom of choice for our clients when it comes to future upgrades and alterations.
IP has slowly become the norm, at least for telephony services on-board. Now, there is also a standard series that defines the Train Ethernet Backbone and its applications IEC 61375 / IEC 62580. SIP has established itself as the preferred method of connecting emergency call devices to the onboard IPBX. Vingtor-Stentofon is at the forefront of an exciting new development in onboard communication with the ability to address a PA amplifier through SIP, directly from the IPBX.

PA AMPLIFIER
IP LOUDSPEAKER
Enables two separately SIPaddressable loudspeaker zones per amplifier. Eliminates one entire subsystem by using the IPBX as the PA controller.
Each loudspeaker is individually IPaddressable. Ideal for small PA zones like crew compartments or when customers require the best possible system monitoring.
SIP AUDIO COMMUNICATION SERVER (ACS) Our unified audio server will handle both PA announcement and Passenger Emergency calls from a single software platform and therefore eliminating the need for a separate PA controller.
WE KNOW INTEGRATION Our audio expertise and well known sound quality is reflected in a complete VoIP system onboard, ready to use by integrators or car manufacturers. We enable better systems and ease of integration through commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) end-devices with robust hardware and software - all based on Open Protocols. We focus on delivering a complete SIP Based VoIP audio communication package or core VoIP OEM components that are compliant with EN50155.
OUR COMPETITIVE EDGE EXPERIENCE: Critical Communication enddevices for 70 years. MATURE SOFTWARE: SIP end-devices for over 10 years. VOLUMES: 50 000-100 000 SIP-enabled end-devices manufactured annually - within the same software family, following a rigid test regime – for even more demanding markets than rolling stock. ECONOMY OF SCALE: Rolling Stock Communication is a market with about 10 000 passenger coaches added to installed base annually. Although being a niche market, Vingtor-Stentofon are able to achieve economy of scale when it comes to robust software that is easily integrated in on-board systems. FINANCIAL STRENGTH: A debt-free company with financial backing to be a partner for large long-term projects. INNOVATION AND ADAPTATION: We are able and willing to continuously innovate for our customers.
VINGTOR-STENTOFON RAIL-ROLLING STOCK SOLUTIONS
ELIMINATE ONE ENTIRE SUBSYSTEM... The implementation of SIP-addressable PA loudspeaker loops enables the same software (e.g. IPBX) to handle both Passenger Emergency Intercom / Crew Communication and Public Address (PA), as well as the required Train Radio Integration.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE SIP has broken the proprietary link between communication subsystem servers and end-devices. It is no longer necessary to use end-devices from the manufacturer of servers or vice versa. This gives the integrator greater freedom of choice, as well as making the end-customer less reliant on specific manufacturers now and in the future.
LESS COMPLEXITY Onboard communication is all about solving the various communication needs of the end customer. There are numerous call cases that must be supported through integration between the subsystems. For instance, emergency
Proprietary Bus Protocol or Analog
calls from a passenger must arrive at the driver’s radio, with the possibility of it then being forwarded to the Operation & Control Center (OCC) through the Train Radio System. Both the driver and the OCC need to be able to address the onboard PA system. In another example, if crew members are on board, they need to have the ability to call each other in different parts of the train, as well as communicate with the driver and the OCC. The devices they call from should also be able to address the PA system and so on. Reducing the number of communication subsystems makes it easier to support all the various call cases required. It is also easier to add call cases going forward, as unexpected alterations or add-ons can arise further along in the project.
...BY USING YOUR VOIP TELEPHONY SYSTEM AS PUBLIC ADDRESS As a result, one entire subsystem can be eliminated, simplifying the system with better integration and providing more functionalities.

COMMON NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
LESS APIs
Emergency call points and other equipment have already been based on VoIP technology for a long time within the Rolling Stock sector. One of the main advantages is in using the common Ethernet infrastructure. Completely native VoIP PA systems (with complete IP integration to each individual amplifier) has long been lacking in the Rolling Stock industry. The PA system has often required a separate networking architecture, which makes the distribution of amplifiers less convenient and with increased cabling. With VoIP PA, more products can share the same network infrastructure. SIP has long been available for VoIP telephony end-devices. Now SIP is also available for VoIP amplifiers.
In order to provision, monitor and integrate various systems, integrators need to relate to the API of all subsystems. Telecom subsystems have come a long way in standardizing the API through CTI - Computer Telephony Integration. Relating to less APIs makes integration much simpler, with less potential points of failure. Since SIP has enabled the IPBX to address amplifiers directly, communication with the API of a PA controller is no longer necessary.
